H.S. Girls Soccer: North Bergen 2014 preview

NORTH BERGEN

Jimmy Somick takes over the girls program from Nico Percontino, who led the Bruins to a school-record 11 wins two years straight before the Bruins fell to 8-12 in 2013. “We have a lot of young girls,” said Somick, who was an assistant with Percontino last year. “It’s going to be tough and challenging.” Senior Emily Morales returns to her defender role in the Bruins’ diamond formation. Junior Bianca Ventura is a major playmaker in the midfield. Senior Vanessa Villa returns to the forward line, where she scored eight goals last year. Junior Jennifer Garcia, a defender last year, moves back to take over the goalkeeping duties. Somick will start four freshmen this season.
